Subject: A coinage worth keeping



Someone I know at one of the PBS stations tells me the people at the

station (and maybe other PBS stations) refer to their periodic telethons to

raise money to pay for some of their programming as "beg-athons." Now

there's a coinage worth keeping, in my opinion, since it comes closer to

reflect the real tone of those things. Agree?
